Snow Day!

On Wednesday 1/12/2011 we were hit with a snowstorm.  It was almost at blizzard status, but didn't quite make the cut. So its just the first (and ideally there won't be too many more) snowstorm of 2011.

I was not feeling 100% but I still tried to get the kids to play outside.  Instead they wanted to do this....

Which to be perfectly honest didn't bother me at all.  I was down for a lazy day at home.
and I could have used the rest.  The next day though I was not taking ANY excuses or whining we were going outside. 

The snow was pretty deep. More deep in some spots than others.  Mind you there is more snow under the babies feet. Despite our 20inches of snow Kyle was determined to make it to the swing set.

Hailey refused to venture the snow on her own, so I had to split my time to help Kyle out and hold Haileys hand.

When we made it to the swing set Kyle had 2 priorities.  To hang from the monkey bars (which he held himself for 5 Mississippi seconds) ; and 2 .) to make me snow pizza and snow pie.

Of course Hailey had to "cook" for me as well.

After about 45 minutes playing in the snow (half of that just getting to the swing set) it was time to trek back to the house.

Buggy was not up for trekking.  I had to carry her a lot of the way.

All in all it was a fun hour of snow.  I didn't even get out the little sled, I don't think i would have done very well in the snow anyway...we don't have many hills in the yard anyway.  So,next snow adventure....sledding!
